stem cell growth serum cicatricial alopecia Calecim eyebrow hair regrowth topical application

TLDR Stem cell serum can regrow eyebrow hair in chronic cases and prevent hair loss if used early after trauma.

The study discusses the use of stem cell growth serum (Calecim) as a treatment for traumatic eyebrow cicatricial alopecia (CA). Two cases were presented: one with chronic secondary CA and another with acute facial trauma without CA. After 6 months of daily topical application of the serum, the patient with chronic CA experienced eyebrow hair regrowth, while the patient treated early retained their eyebrow hair and did not develop CA. The findings suggest that stem cell serum is an effective, noninvasive option for hair regrowth in chronic CA and may prevent CA development when used early in acute trauma cases.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

nkrata in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
